Placebos Are Getting More Effective. Drugmakers Are Desperate to Know Why.

Merck was in trouble. In 2002, the pharmaceutical giant was falling behind its rivals in sales. Even worse, patents on five blockbuster drugs were about to expire, which would allow cheaper generics to flood the market. The company hadn't introduced a truly new product in three years, and its stock price was plummeting.

In interviews with the press, Edward Scolnick, Merck's research director, laid out his battle plan to restore the firm to preeminence. Key to his strategy was expanding the company's reach into the antidepressant market, where Merck had lagged while competitors like Pfizer and GlaxoSmithKline created some of the best-selling drugs in the world. "To remain dominant in the future," he toldForbes, "we need to dominate the central nervous system."

His plan hinged on the success of an experimental antidepressant codenamed MK-869. Still in clinical trials, it looked like every pharma executive's dream: a new kind of medication that exploited brain chemistry in innovative ways to promote feelings of well-being. The drug tested brilliantly early on, with minimal side effects, and Merck touted its game-changing potential at a meeting of 300 securities analysts.

10 Cool Facts About Our Brain

The Brain

The human brain is the most complex and least understood part of the human anatomy. There may be a lot we don’t know, but here are a few interesting facts that we’ve got covered.

1. Nerve impulses to and from the brain travel as fast as 170 miles per hour.

Ever wonder how you can react so fast to things around you or why that stubbed toe hurts right away? It’s due to the super-speedy movement of nerve impulses from your brain to the rest of your body and vice versa, bringing reactions at the speed of a high powered luxury sports car.

2. The brain operates on the same amount of power as 10-watt light bulb.

The cartoon image of a light bulb over your head when a great thought occurs isn’t too far off the mark. Your brain generates as much energy as a small light bulb even when you’re sleeping.

3. The human brain cell can hold 5 times as much information as the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Or any other encyclopedia for that matter. Scientists have yet to settle on a definitive amount, but the storage capacity of the brain in electronic terms is thought to be between 3 or even 1,000 terabytes. The National Archives of Britain, containing over 900 years of history, only takes up 70 terabytes, making your brain’s memory power pretty darn impressive.

4. Your brain uses 20% of the oxygen that enters your bloodstream.

The brain only makes up about 2% of our body mass, yet consumes more oxygen than any other organ in the body, making it extremely susceptible to damage related to oxygen deprivation. So breathe deep to keep your brain happy and swimming in oxygenated cells.

5. The brain is much more active at night than during the day.

Logically, you would think that all the moving around, complicated calculations and tasks and general interaction we do on a daily basis during our working hours would take a lot more brain power than, say, lying in bed. Turns out, the opposite is true. When you turn off your brain turns on. Scientists don’t yet know why this is but you can thank the hard work of your brain while you sleep for all those pleasant dreams.

6. Scientists say the higher your I.Q. the more you dream.

While this may be true, don’t take it as a sign you’re mentally lacking if you can’t recall your dreams. Most of us don’t remember many of our dreams and the average length of most dreams is only 2-3 seconds–barely long enough to register.

7. Neurons continue to grow throughout human life.

For years scientists and doctors thought that brain and neural tissue couldn’t grow or regenerate. While it doesn’t act in the same manner as tissues in many other parts of the body, neurons can and do grow throughout your life, adding a whole new dimension to the study of the brain and the illnesses that affect it.

8. Information travels at different speeds within different types of neurons.

Not all neurons are the same. There are a few different types within the body and transmission along these different kinds can be as slow as 0.5 meters/sec or as fast as 120 meters/sec.

9. The brain itself cannot feel pain.

While the brain might be the pain center when you cut your finger or burn yourself, the brain itself does not have pain receptors and cannot feel pain. That doesn’t mean your head can’t hurt. The brain is surrounded by loads of tissues, nerves and blood vessels that are plenty receptive to pain and can give you a pounding headache.

10. 80% of the brain is water.

Your brain isn’t the firm, gray mass you’ve seen on TV. Living brain tissue is a squishy, pink and jelly-like organ thanks to the loads of blood and high water content of the tissue. So the next time you’re feeling dehydrated get a drink to keep your brain hydrated.

The Schumann Resonance: Synchronyzing with the planet earth

"Schumann Resonance" refers to the frequency of the electromagnetic field of the earth and this is called the Earth Resonance Frequency (ERF). This frequency was discovered by the physicist Winfried Otto Schumann and calculated at 7.83 hertz. For that reason this frequency is therefore called the Schumann Resonance and is important because is the frequency in which the vibration that all the beings on earth harmonize with.

The ERF frequency has been associated with high levels of hypnotizability, meditation, increased HGH levels and cerebral blood flow levels seem to be much higher while this frequency is being stimulated. With this frequency, we are most receptive to healing suggestion and influence. A brainwave entrainment session based on this frequency makes an excellent afternoon meditation, and can also be used for sleep induction or general relaxation.

In fact, the Earth Resonance Frequency is the vibrational environment that all beings on earth evolved into and they respond to it in very subtle ways. Because the life has developed in this environment since the beginning of time, many of the basic functions of the living beings are related to it. For example, our nervous system fires at close to this rate. Our brain goes into an Alpha state under the influence of this original frequency. This creates a supra-normal state which enhances relaxation, healing, and super-learning.

Dolphins, whales and crickets use that frequency for communication as it functions like the carrier waves of a radio signal. Studies have shown that the effect on the human system is significant and when we are in the presence of the Earth Resonance Frequency, our human nervous system is triggered back to a basic state of meditation and balance.

In Mentallion.com you can find this therapy in the following address:

http://www.mentallion.com/search.action?keyword=Visualization

The vibration is an audio tone that can be felt but not heard. It causes the brainwaves to entrain with it and triggers the brain to move easily into an Alpha state. It also helps people get in touch with the earth itself. By aligning ourselves on every level with the earth, we support our wellbeing and create a greater receptivity for healing to occur.

For believers, the ERF frequency is the ideal companion for meditation sessions involving visualization and Law of Attraction.

Tutorial about Health Synchronization with Brainwave entrainment and Binaural Beats

This slide is a synthesis of what Brainwave entrainment and Binaural Beats are. The essential point is the concept of Health Synchronization. In other words, if you are sick you are out of synchronization and then can synchronize with health through Brainwave Entrainment.


Binaural beats ia one way about how you can get entrainment. Other ways are isochronic tones, ligths and even physical pulsations.



In the following tutorial you will be introduced in the topic.

Anxiety reduction using binaural beats and barinave entrainment

Anxiety, typically associated with uneasiness, fear, or worry, is a generalized mood condition that occurs without an identifiable menace. As such, it is distinguished from fear, which occurs in the presence of an observed threat. Additionally, fear is related to the specific behaviors of escape and avoidance, whereas anxiety is the result of threats that are perceived to be uncontrollable or unavoidable.

Common Anxiety symptoms are heart palpitations, fatigue, nausea, chest pain, shortness of breath, stomach aches, or headaches. Physically, the body prepares the organism to deal with a threat. Blood pressure and heart rate are increased, sweating is increased, flow of blood to the major muscle groups is increased, and immune and digestive system functions are inhibited (the fight or flight response). External signs of anxiety may include pale skin, sweating, trembling, and pupil dilation. Someone suffering from anxiety might also experience it as a sense of dread or panic.

The main characteristic of Anxiety is the overabundance of higher Beta brainwaves. Likewise, a lack of alpha and theta waves is observed. One undesirable consequence of this condition is that some people lacking these vital brainwaves often turn to external substances (such as alcohol, tobacco, and drugs) to induce the production of these brainwaves, providing temporary and potentially dangerous, relief.

Fortunately, there is an a way to reduce anxiety with a natural treatment using brainwave entrainment technology. The anxiety reduction session is a very relaxing therapy that uses mainly alpha waves inducing the brain to a state of light relaxation. This session has proven being incredibly effective with Anxiety and Stress disorders. By using relaxation focused brainwave entrainment sessions regularly, you can not only reduce anxiety, stress, and cravings for external substances. but you can also increase your brain's ability to produce these brainwaves, allowing you to better deal with anxiety in the future.

Like so many mental disorders there is no a "magic bullet" for anxiety or stress. No "one size fits all" solution will work for everybody. But it is an undisputed fact that Anxiety is vastly reduced by alpha/theta training.

Henry Adams, PhD., head of the alcoholism programs at St. Elizabeth's Hospital In Washington, found that alcoholics showed a 55% in alcohol consumption after a single relaxation session combined with a brief anti-alcohol suggestion.

Peninston & Kulkosky found that Alpha/Theta neurofeedback got successful results in 80% of those properly trained addicts becoming non-craving, healthy people.

In Mentallion.com you can find a FREE rich set of therapies based on sounds and music for Anxiety using the technology of brainwave entrainment. These therapies are playable and downloadable so you can use them in your MP3 player or computer.

To use this session, find a quiet place, free of distraction. Make sure you are comfortable, in a chair or lying down. After starting the session, close your eyes and try to relax. During the session you should remain as calm and relaxed as possible.

Headphones are required for this session.

Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain Relief using Brainwave Entrainment based music

Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain are common problems around the world. predominant in 3-5% of women and 2 to 4% of the general population, Fibromyalgia is characterized by persistent muscular pain, fatigue, sleeping problems and in some cases depression, anxiety and stress. The treatment of Fibromyalgia is still under study but the results of using brainwave entrainment are very promising:

In a comparative research on Fibromyalgia treatments, audio entrainment was better than both medical and nutritional treatments in many ways, including reduction of Pain and Anxiety. Combined treatment poved being more successful.

Another research conducted by Mike Twittey and David Siever reduced Chronic Pain in 15 participants over a period of study of two month . The Beck Depression Scale also indicated a significant reduction in depression.

In a case study performed by Dr. Fred Boersma, a man with a severe back injury was able to reduce his pain killer intake from 35 extra strength Tylenol daily, to only 2 or 3 pills daily! The man also reported a more positive attitude, no doubt due in part to the increase in endorphins and serotonin that the light and sound sessions stimulated.

A typical brainwave entrainment session, specifically designed for Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain reduction, consists of Sub-Delta (0 - 1 hz) frequencies, which seem to have soothing effects on the limbic system (the amygdala and hypothalamus), which themselves operate at delta frequencies. It is theorized that this is the reason delta frequencies are so helpful with conditions such as fibromyalgia and chronic pain, as well hypertension.

Stimulation of Alpha waves in the brain also causes an increase in the release of serotonin, the body's own pain relief drug, and it has been shown to help in the relief of certain types of headaches (such as migraine) and other types of bodily pain and discomfort, such as fibromyalgia. Brainwave entrainment also helps in physical healing processes as well as improving the immune system.

In conclusion, a session of 15-30 minutes of fibromyalgia session based on sounds and music used repeatedly can reduce significantly the symptoms of these terrible afflictions.

Migraine Relief: Brainwave Entrainment a new treatment

Only 1% of the world population is free from headaches in their entire lifetime. Over a year, it is estimated that 90% of the population get at least one headache. The World Health Organization estimated in 2003 that 303 million people worldwide were migraineurs. A 2004 article suggested that there are almost 20 million migraine attacks happening every day.

Although self-medicate for migraines is an easy and common response today. Typical medicines for headaches, such as aspirin, have non desirable secondary effects; for example: damage to the stomach, allergy, etc.

Fortunately, there are a natural way to get rid of migraine, this way is through brainwave entrainment. If you do not know, brainwave entrainment is about the synchronization of your brain with a source of frequencies to achieve a desired mental state. These frequencies can be generated by sounds, lights, physical vibrations. In this article I will talk about brainwave entrainment based on sounds and music.

A typical session of headache with these sounds or music reduces the activity in the brain and relaxes the listener. Unlike most sessions. Slow-Wave (Delta) stimulation has been shown effective to relieve headaches. This combined with Alpha waves stimulation, has also been found to be an excellent combination to reduce headache.

First, you have to find a brainwave entrainment session based on sounds and music. Them, find a quiet place, free of distraction. Make sure you are comfortable, in a chair or lying down. After starting the session, close your eyes and try to relax. Make sure to relax your forehead, eyelids and scalp in particular. Your eyes should be closed. You should listen at least 15 minutes of therapy.

This therapy has the following advantages: first; they act quickly, giving relief rapidly; second; if you use it repeatedly, the treatment will have long lasting effects. It is as your brain could be trained and learn how to behave.

In summary, your brain can be trained about how to live without migraine with a method that is effective, inexpensive, and unobtrusive.

Mentallion.com (http://www.mentallion.com) is the first health related web 2.0 website (or better health 2.0?) in delivering health online. You can experiment by yourself with brainwaves for FREE in http://www.mentallion.com, a new startup whose mission is to democratize this effective, unintrusive, and mostly unknown technology by making available a set of therapies to those who want to experiment with.
